Look to the star Matariki, The star of the New Year"
Nau Mai Haere Mai
Come together with established and emerging Maori playwrights and practitioners to discuss the future of our theatre, encourage, be inspired and network over two days of Hui.
Rarely do the Maori theatre community in Auckland have the chance to voice their concerns, celebrate the work of those who forged the way, and those who choose to pick up the challenge to write and produce theatre here in Tamaki Makaurau.
Bring your voice, bring your stories, come tautoko and awhi those who are producing and writing theatre works and be inspired. We would love to see you there.
